The Christian ‘Jesus’ is not the Muslim ‘Jesus’

Here is an Islamic education moment from Christopher Logan. Many Muslims claim they respect Jesus to Christians. The implication is that Christians and Muslims revere the same person.

Logan goes out of his to insinuate that Muslims openly deceive Christians. The Muslim Jesus and the Christian Jesus are about the same as water mixing with oil. However, I think Logan is a bit off base to imply that Muslims as a whole group deceive Christians.

Muslims simply believe the Quran as the divine word of Allah and regard the Bible as writings that have been drifting into error at points that disagree with the Quran. Except for a few similar stories the Quran and the Bible have zero in common as to the message of love viewed through the Christian perspective. Even the similar Quranic stories are obviously skewed alterations from the Biblical account that was written WAY BEFORE Mohammed put it to voice and someone’s memory put it into writing. Even the New Testament had taken its final form before Mohammed was born. Thus the Quranic/Biblical similarities were created by Mohammed to entice Jews and Christians to accept his prophethood as authentic and the express will of God.

Hence I don’t believe Muslims set out to deceive Christians about Jesus in da’wah anymore than Christians will use the same “Jesus” strategy to convince Muslims in evangelism.

However, the Jesus in the Bible is the Prince of Peace and a person of the Godhood. The Jesus of the Quran is a man subservient to Mohammed that apparently will come back to life with Mohammed to terminate Judaism and Christianity by converting them to Islam or dying.

The Quranic Jesus offers Christians death while the Biblical Jesus offers Christians and ALL who believe willingly LIFE. Those who refuse to believe in Jesus have condemned them self without the hand of man killing them.

Here is Christopher Logan’s explanation that the Quranic Jesus is not the Biblical Jesus of Christianity.

What Islam Really Says About Jesus and his Return

I have frequently spoken to Islamic apologists who say that their Muslim “friends” respect Jesus. They probably do, but it is not in the same way that Christians do. In the view of Muslims, Jesus is coming back as a Muslim and he will break the cross (destroy Christianity) and be a slave to Islam. He will also abolish the jizya, which will leave Jews and Christians with only two options. To convert to Islam or die. Koran verse 9 29 calls for the extortion of Jew and Christians. (Jizya) 009.029

YUSUFALI:

Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.


Here is what the Islamic scriptures (The Hadiths) say about the return of Jesus.

Muslims believe that Jesus will come back to fight for Islam, not Christianity.

Book 37, Number 4310:
Narrated AbuHurayrah:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: There is no prophet between me and him, that is, Jesus (peace_be_upon_him). He will descent (to the earth). When you see him, recognise him: a man of medium height, reddish fair, wearing two light yellow garments, looking as if drops were falling down from his head though it will not be wet. He will fight the people for the cause of Islam. He will break the cross, kill swine, and abolish jizyah. Allah will perish all religions except Islam. He will destroy the Antichrist and will live on the earth for forty years and then he will die. The Muslims will pray over him.


Volume 4, Book 55, Number 657:
Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah’s Apostle said, “By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, surely (Jesus,) the son of Mary will soon descend amongst you and will judge mankind justly (as a Just Ruler); he will break the Cross and kill the pigs and there will be no Jizya (i.e. taxation taken from non Muslims). Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it, and a single prostration to Allah (in prayer) will be better than the whole world and whatever is in it.” Abu Huraira added “If you wish, you can recite (this verse of the Holy Book): — ‘And there is none Of the people of the Scriptures (Jews and Christians) But must believe in him (i.e. Jesus as an Apostle of Allah and a human being) Before his death. And on the Day of Judgment He will be a witness Against them.” (4.159) (See Fateh Al Bari, Page 302 Vol 7)


Then when judgment day arrives Jesus will judge the people by the words of the Koran and not of the Holy Bible.

Volume 4, Book 55, Number 658:
Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah’s Apostle said “How will you be when the son of Mary (i.e. Jesus) descends amongst you and he will judge people by the Law of the Quran and not by the law of Gospel (Fateh-ul Bari page 304 and 305 Vol 7)


Please don’t be fooled when Muslims says that they respect Jesus also. They are just playing word games with you.
